Pioneer Trains First Year in Review

Thank you for a successful first year of Pioneer Trains. I met a lot of you at the National N scale convention in Kansas City as well as Trainfest in Milwaukee. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you this year in Milwaukee for both the N scale convention, and Trainfest. I will also be showing at select Great Midwest Train Shows at the DuPage county fairgrounds.

Last year I also announced our first collaboration with Lowell Smith of RailSmith for our GM&O Abraham Lincoln train. I can't wait for the first two coaches to be delivered late summer.

In the fall I was able to become one of a few select retailers in the US to carry N-Possible couplers. These couplers are a game changer for realistic coupler operation under even the most challenging conditions, and get rid of the slinky effect of MTL couplers. I will do my best to keep all varieties in stock at all times to meet your railroads needs. My thanks to Andrew Tyhurst at N-Possible for make those possible.

This year I am excited to announce our next round of diesel locomotives courtesy of Broadway Limited, and our next passenger car release courtesy of Lowell Smith at RailSmith. As the year progresses I hope to add more manufacturers to that list for more exclusive products.

Your comments and feedback are an invaluable resource to help shape the hobby as well as what I will announce next. Please take our survey or email me directly with your thoughts.

And again, thanks for a great first year, and here's to year two being even better!

Cheers,

Peter Amling
